I don’t know about you, but for me, this past year felt as though it zipped by. Even my youngest thinks so, although my eldest…not so much.
I guess not having the luxury of sleeping through the night in almost nine months would skew anyone’s perception.
When my children were young, I’d write a little note to my children each night to share something cute they’d done or said, or to tell of some milestone they’d reached, or to journal the special way we’d spent the day. I pasted these notes into scrapbooks with photos and gave them to each of my children on their twelfth birthday.
I believe that the exercise helped me to treasure each day, even when operating on only a few snatched hours of sleep. Through the years since, I’ve journaled off and on. It helps me gain perspective.
With the feeling that the years are racing away, I think it’s time to resume the habit—a new year’s resolution of sorts.
Your Turn: What about you? Have you made any new year’s resolutions? Do you journal? How has it impacted you?
